Nearly two hundred years have passed since Glenn Bolick's ancestors settled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the 1800s, Glenn's great great grandfather drove cattle from Catawba County into the mountains near Upton Community, where he found good grazing land. Glenn still lives on the original family land in the Bailey's Camp Community only a few miles from Blowing Rock, North Carolina, When Glenn s not singing mountain ballads and telling old tales, he s farming, tending animals, running his saw mill and working with the Bolick family pottery business.

Glenn's voice shines through these stories, anecdotes, and sayings. He captures the essence of the way thing sere in the Blue Ridge Mountains the days before electricity. His memories are embellished with mountain humor. This reminds readers not to be serious about life they can't get a laugh from everyday events.
